How does the buckle in the stroller attach? Is it easy for a 2-3 year old to do on their own? I can't tell from the picture.

Three's no need for the child to re-buckle the belt. Once it has been buckled, it is easy for the child to slip the doll into the stroller.

It's a plastic half circle buckle that you have to thread the nylon strap through and then back out. My 2 year old can't do it, but hasn't really cared. The seat is pretty deep and she can have multiple dolls in it at a time without them falling out.

It attaches with Velcro straps. There are four straps that wrap around any part of the frame and attach to themselves. They are quite stretchy so will stretch to reach the frame of the stroller. I am using two on a double umbrella stroller and they're great.

The bars separate the two u-shaped ends of the carriers to keep them from collapsing in on themselves. They just snap on to the open areas on the tops of the end pieces. Be careful not to carry the full carriers by these bars, they will come loose. Also, the bar on top of the lower carrier needs to be of-center to allow the top to snap into the clips on the stroller. Ours had to be re-drilled, as the clips were not straight.

I think it woukd be awfully diffucult for a child to undo. We've had ours for several months & the latch is slightly more worn in (thus easier to undo) but there's no way my 2 yr old could pull it apart unless i didnt snap it in all the way.

Well I'm sure a 3 yr old could possibly buckle themselves in, but I highly recommend an adult doing it for the safety of the child to make sure they are properly secured. Personally I would never let my 3 1/2 yr old grandson do this for himself, 3yr olds cannot possibly understand the importance of this. Wow I can't even believe someone asked this question, I'm a little concerned for the 3 yr old being allowed to do his own seat buckle.

No, it doesn't come with a belt or anything like that. I guess you can be creative and install it. Our 3 year old a couple times slide down and got kind of stuck, that's how he learned to sit correctly in it. We tried for our one year old earlier on, but because she couldn't reach the floor or the wheel, she couldn't keep her balance... the seat was too big and we had to hold her all the time, .... Doesn't work for a little one.

The lower carrier attaches with strong velcro straps. The upper carrier slides 2 circular clips on each side. Happy to post a pic of the stroller w/o the carriers.

It is super easy. You simply reverse the process that you use to place it on the stroller. There is a nob that you turn initially and then it slides off in two-three pieces. I have two of these on my double stroller and have had zero issues moving them if I didn't like where I initially placed them, etc. In some ways, the directions MIGHT seem a bit tricky but I just studied the product visually, read the directions, and figured it out. You have to use some "force" to really make sure it is tight because the plastic is a bit stiff but, again, I did it twice and have had zero issues.

There is another D ring strap that it attaches to. They go one inside the other. It is really hard to get the stroller closed far enough to use the straps. We never use them.

it is easy, I do not know what you might be doing wrong but my kid pops it with her knee when she wants to get out of the stroller and it pops back in

I've used it for my daughter from 8 or 9 months to now and she is just over 2 years old. I plan on continuing to use it for her. She likes the stroller.

i did travel with this stroller and my two children. its was a bit of a pain but i managed it. with the seat getting lost. just ask at check in to get 3 stroller tags for each part. this way nothing gets lost.

Putting a bag on the upper parts of the stroller could make it tip which is why they advise against it. It's rather lightweight which is good for getting it around. I have seen a bag that baby jogger sells that installs along the side. We either store a thinner bag under or carry a larger diaper bag putting it in the stroller when our 2 year old wants to walk.

To be honest, really easily. Too easily. Either the way we attached this to our stroller was incorrect or it wasn't meant for our stroller. The seat started to detach itself when we went over some sharp bumps on the street. We tried to use it with our McClaren stroller and it didn't work. We eventually returned it.

Hi, Miki, where do you live? I have one...I don't attach it to anything, since I only use the stroller.

I am curious, I bought the stroller from a essex/bargain hunt and im not sure if the car seat attachment came with it. is it a separate piece or once you take the jj cole seat out does your car seat just slide in?

You can use just the stroller anytime. The straps are similar to cars eat straps. Just not as wide.
